D2R 2.4 Paladin Build Conclusion & Tips

You could rock small charms and have small charms on this build if you want to go super crazy, you could go like max damage, attack rating, magic find, small charms are super rare. If you put seven MF small charms on this build, this could be really cool magic finding focused variant. You could stack the Holy Fire even higher with Hand of Justice and then dual Dragon shields, but this is using dual dream, so that is an option, this is about as fast as you can get for a melee build, plus you have like pulse damage.
